The Cavaliers, should they meet the Golden State Warriors this year for a fourth straight NBA Finals, gained valuable reinforcements when they overturned their roster at the trading deadline.

Larry Nance, Jr. and Jordan Clarkson played with the Lakers. Rodney Hood played with the Utah Jazz and George Hill played with the Sacramento Kings — all Western Conference teams, which means the new Cavaliers have plenty of experience playing against the Warriors.

Nance, for example, has faced the Warriors 11 times with five starts. The 25-year-old son of former Cavalier Larry Nance has not gone against any other team as often. He has 20 steals against Golden State, by far the most (13 vs. Sacramento is second). The Cavs must improve their defense if they are to wrest the championship from the Warriors as they did in 2016.

Hill, who has also played with the Spurs, Pacers and Jazz, has played against the Warriors 22 times with nine starts and is deadly on 3-pointers when Golden State is the opponent. He has connected on 34 of 66 3s against the Warriors, and though he has made more against other teams (41 of 89 against the Nets), Golden State is the only team he is shooting better than .500 against from long range.

Clarkson is averaging 13.3 points a game and Hood 15.3 points a game against Golden State.

The Cavs have to play much better than they have been to get back to the Finals, but if they meet the Warriors again, Coach Tyronn Lue can be assured his newest players won’t be intimidated.

• Hill gives the Cavaliers the true point guard they have been lacking most of the season. He should take some of the workload from LeBron James.

“George Hill is experienced, battle-tested,” Cavs general manager Koby Altman said. “He’s an excellent fit for the team in terms of being a two-way guy.”

Hill should feel reborn going from the hapless Kings (17-36) to the defending East champions. He’ll be thrown into the heat of the conference race on Feb. 11 when the Cavs visit the first-place Celtics in Boston.
